Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This course covers the basic principles of fluid mechanics. Topics include fluid statics, fluid dynamics, Bernoulli and energy equations, momentum analysis of flow structures, flow measurement, dimensional analysis, internal flow in pipes and ducts, external flow over streamlined and bluffed bodies, pump sizing and selection, and an introduction to open channel flow.

Learning Outcomes

Edit Learning Outcomes Content

Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:

  • Explain in scientific terms the underlying principles and mechanisms that govern the behaviour and motion of fluids in internal and external flows.
    Linked to the following assessments:
  • Apply dimensional analysis principles to fluid modelling of real world situations.
    Linked to the following assessments:
  • Solve practical fluid problems that engineers are likely to face in the real world.

    These include:

    • application of Newton’s law of viscosity to shearing surfaces,
    • hydrostatics to submerged surfaces,
    • the application of the Bernoulli equation to mechanical energy process,
    • pump sizing,
    • pipe friction loss,
    • linear and angular momentum,
    • drag and lift calculations,
    • open channel flow calculations.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

The learning outcomes are assessed using a combination of:

Assignments (10%)

The assignments form an important part of the paper, as they allow you to practice important concepts, and therefore help cement your knowledge as well as prepare for the test and exam. There will be a total of five assignments over the semester which will be released via Moodle.

Laboratories (10%)

There are a total of four laboratory sessions over the semester.

Group Project (20%)

In this group project, you will be designing a simplified small town water supply system.

Test (10%)

There will be one restricted book test to help you prepare for the final exam. ONE sheet (2 sides) of A4 notes. The test is worth 10% of your final grade. The date is shown below. The format will be discussed in class prior to the test.

Final exam (50%)

The final examination, held during Examination weeks, will cover the whole semester’s lecture material. It will be a closed book examination. Programmable calculators, not containing stored information, are allowed.

The format of the final examination will be discussed in lectures during the last week of the course.

Assessment Components

Edit Assessments Content

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 50% or 0% of the overall mark.
